Austin, Texas, United States
What it is
LeanDNA APEX is paid, cloud-based supply chain planning software for manufacturers. It combines ERP, MES, supplier, and production data across systems and sites into a single view of shortages, excess inventory, and production readiness. APEX prioritizes corrective actions and supports procurement workflows, automation, and supplier collaboration intended to reduce buyers’ manual work and cycle times. Users can set order policies and safety stock levels, then simulate alternate policies to assess inventory and shortage opportunities. The Kei AI assistant analyzes shortages, excess, suppliers, and risks in real time and provides recommendations. Pre-built connectors and APIs are intended to integrate with any ERP or MES system. LeanDNA describes the product for manufacturers, including aerospace and medical-device sectors. It states that the service is SOC 2 Type II certified for Security and Confidentiality. Its AI security policy says customer data is not used to train publicly accessible or third-party language models, and model calls stay within an isolated AWS environment. Pricing is by request, with demos available.
